Description
Medieval Highland apprentice witch Ana de Dannon is desperate to free her imprisoned mother and needs a champion. Her evil stepbrother has offered her mother's freedom in exchange for his defeat at the tournament. Knowing it's a trap, she still summons a legendary warrior. But instead of Cuchulainn, a famous 21st century quarterback appears.
Kenneth MacKinnon (Mac) is stunned he has traveled to 14th century Scotland but agrees to help Ana free her mother if she will return him to the future. Fighting their mutual attraction, Ana trains Mac for the competition. He is a fast learner, with a kind heart buried under his arrogance, but he has much to learn. Ana fears their chances of escaping with her mother—and their lives—diminish by the day.

A medieval fiction story like you have never read before. The premise seems all too familiar - an Evil would be leader usurps power while the King is off doing glory. This Evil - Roderick - has kidnapped Ana's mother and demands a rare sword as the price of her freedom. Ana needs a champion to beat him in a tournament and conjures one. Here we get the turn and twist - no historic Irish champion, how about the QB of a Super Bowl-winning team from the 21st century?
The originality of the premise sold me on reading and reviewing this book and I wasn't disappointed! The journey of Mac from QB to warrior in the 13th century is compelling. The battle scenes are brilliantly written. The romance in the book keeps the reader excited.
Brilliantly written, flows perfectly. I had difficulty putting the book down. You just have to know what happens next. Magic, mayhem, treachery, and trust. This book has it all. If you want to read a rip-roaring adventure set in the 13th century, this book is for you. I recommend it to every fan of Braveheart or Robin Hood. A fantastic read and one that is hard to stop reading until it is over.

My Rating: 5 stars
i really enjoyed getting to know Ana and going through this world. I liked the way the author writes and was invested from beginning to end.
A fun and exciting read with a cast of interesting characters. At times, a bit predictable with the evil and power-hungry step family member. However, the writing is good and the characters engaging enough to make up for this.
On the whole, a great read.
I received this ARC via Netgalley and The Wild Rose Press, Inc, in return for an honest review. Enjoy this time-travelling romance and action story when a modern American professional football quarterback suddenly finds himself in 13th Century Scotland so he can help the fair maiden rescue her mother and defeat her evil stepbrother. Lady Ana believes he’ll be able to do it on his own because he’s the reincarnation of the great warrior, Culchulainn.
This is a classic hero out of his own time love story, and Ms. Binder does a good job of telling it. She does strong world building and creates likable good guy characters and bad guys that you want to get their comeuppance. There are battles and the heroine is stronger than she believes she can be. Mac, the hero, appreciates her strengths, her abilities and her beauty, plus wanting to defeat the creepy bad guy. It’s a satisfying story and a romance you should enjoy.
